WT1801HWA (ABWEPUS) LG Washer - Instructions

Turn water valves off , remove the hoses from washer,remove covering from hose housing, remove the claps from back off housing, remove screws from intake housing, remove iPod intake and install new housing and reverse the install

Removed both slow closing latches (3 Phillips head screws each) and lifted off the lid.
Pried off the two plastic caps on the top front of the machine. They are about 1/2" or so in diameter and I used a very thin flat head screwdriver to remove.
Unscrewed the Phillips head screw under each plastic cap.
Popped the two plastic covers (with the warning labels) off the hinges/closing mechanisms with thin flat head screwdriver.
Pulled dryer out from wall, unplugged the unit from the A/Power, and removed the phillips head screw on each side of the washer back.
Lifted off the washer top with the aid of assistant to hold close to the machine. Be careful with the cable that leads to the control panel.
On the underside of the top, I removed the two Phillips head screws holding the broken hinge and pushed it out from the top.
Replaced the hinge and re-inserted and tightened the two Phillips screws holding it in. Took the opportunity to thoroughly clean the top of the washer tub.
Re-installed the two back and two front screws that hold down the top and popped the two plastic covers on the top.
Moved the lid back into place and slid the slow closing latches back into place and reinstalled the 3 screws in each one. Note how the latch goes back into the hinge. Snapped the two covers back into place.
Plugged in the machine and pushed it back into place.
Lid soft closes perfectly now.

Tried to remove adjitator but it was stuck. Could not find any professional method of pulling it. There must be some type of puller,

Remove cover over associated hinge pin assembly and the hinge assembly behind it. With the lid open, remove 4 screws holding on the top assembly, lift and rotate it on its wire cable side and rest it on the machine top frame (it may be necessary to remove the 2 cable restrainers to gain enough play to do this - you will have to remove the large rear cover to accomplish this and be able to reinstall these restrainers). Remove 2 screws fastening the broken hinge pin receptor, install new unit, and fasten with these 2 screws. Install top assembly and a new/repaired hinge pin assembly (most likely the reason for the broken hinge pin receptor).. Replace cable restrainers and rear cover if it was necessary to remove them. Note: These hinge pin assemblies are sold as a set (1 left, 1 right; they are not interchangeable and are expensive). Time to do repair = about 30 minutes.

Very simple repair after watching YouTube video on how to complete repair.

Since the old pulsator had actually come off during a wash cycle, I was able to place the new one on easily. Tightened the screw with a socket. Then placed the new cap on. Before placing the new pulsator on, I was able to clean all the mold and hard deposits off the mechanism under the pulsator. The hard deposits were also scrapped from the pulsator holding (where the screw goes) which may have caused the problem to begin with.

Former LG repair looked under washer while it was engaging & noticed motor was not spinning. LG took forever I ordered the part from you guys. It looked different from original. Figured out to take extra port for front loader. I have top loader. Installed washer works great!!

turn off the water, unplug washer from power. remove two screws holding rear top plate. Here's the hard part. Pry the rear top plate from the top of the washer. It has multiple snap in guides across the front edge and they are very tight. Be careful and apply steady pressure straight up and they will eventually come free.
I marked each of the electrical inputs going to the old valve before removing. Remove the wiring harness. Again be careful and ease them off. the connectors
come apart easily. Remove the hose clamps with pliers and slip off the hoses. They are long enough that I trimmed off the soft ends of the old hoses and still had plenty of hose to reconnect. Remove the filler hoses. Remove the screws holding the valve to the machine. Re install the new valve in reverse order. Goes back in very easily.
Make sure to secure all the hoses. Run a wash cycle with an empty tub to make sure everything is working properly and nothing is leaking. Snap the rear top plate back into position and secure with the two screws Should take less than a couple of hours to do this job. Again the hardest part is getting the rear top plate off.

Tried everything and could not get it out I just use mesh bags for washing at this time, but LG washing machine is the worst I have ever had

unplugged machine, turned off water valves. Moved machine away from the wall. Disconnected supply lines. Removed cover housing water valve assembly.
Took a picture with phone. Disconnected water and electrical wires. Removed water valve assembly . Installed new assembly ,cover and reconnected supply lines, plugged power cord in, turned on water supply valves. Done.

The old dispenser is removed by slightly raising the front as you pull it out of the housing slot. To install the new dispenser, keep the front slightly tilted up and insert the new dispenser into the housing alot

I HAD A CHAT WITH LG EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM . SAID IT WAS THE WATER SHUT OFF VALUE. V EVEN SENT THE PAGE WITH PART# TO ORDER ONLINE.

LOVE LG CHAT!!!
